(Making a new bookmarklet for Youtube FLV download on Google Chrome Browser)
Well, here’s another cool hack that all you YouTubers might enjoy as you can download the actual YouTube videos with a little effort. This hack probably works for Firefox and other browsers too because it’s a simple Javascript bookmarklet.
Here’s how to do it, copy the following code and make a bookmarklet, you should see “Download FLV” as shown below:
javascript:window.location.href = 'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=' + swfArgs['video_id']+ “&l=” + swfArgs['l'] + “&sk=” + swfArgs['sk'] + ‘&fmt_map’ + swfArgs['fmt_map'] + ‘&t=’ + swfArgs['t'];
At the bottom of above Chrome browser window, you will see that the video is being downloaded after I press on the bookmarklet.
Here’s the code for downloading high-resolution MP4:
javascript:window.location.href = 'http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=' + swfArgs['video_id']+ “&fmt=18″ + “&l=” + swfArgs['l'] + “&sk=” + swfArgs['sk'] + ‘&fmt_map’ + swfArgs['fmt_map'] + ‘&t=’ + swfArgs['t'];
